Aye, 'tis good to read of your interests out side of audio. I do not drink alcohol but with good reason. While I am adopted I have seen first hand what alcoholism can do to a family and so I decided to never risk it. I would probably pass out but dare not risk becoming a Cane Toad of sorts. And as I can not taste, I would not waste such nectar upon me.
In the consumption of caffeine on the other hand, I have yet to meet my match having once consumed 4 gallons of iced tea at a sitting. Speaking of which, you and I have met before although I doubt you recall as I am no one worth recalling. Mike too and he like your self is genuine in his camaraderi with his fellow man. Both your wives were very nice too and Denise? She was a joy to speak with. A Beach Boys fan is all ways a delight to such as I. The point of my meandering is this - You, Mike, your wives, Denise...All seem genuinely good. I found no deceit in any of you and that is important in this world we live in or at least it is to me. And that is another reason I bought the Vali 2 for my older brother and now the Valhalla 2 Noir for my self. But enough stupid toadish rambling'...
I look forward to my Valhalla II Noir. Per the tracking feature your company sent, it shall arrive by tomorrow evening. Being old, I shall not get to opening and setting it up until what used to be my Sabbath.
Time to go to the eye doctor. Again.
